Once it all gets to ram, you should be just fine

Latency isn’t the only issue.

it’s slow, symbolic and hard linking don’t work correctly, and permissions and attributes aren’t recorded.

You could have a secondary layer that tarred every file on write, since tar maintains permission flags. It could also fix symbolic linking, but not hard linking. As an added benefit, it would drastically reduce the usefulness of the system.

What about using a Google Sheets spreadsheet with the file content encoded in BASE64?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
